    I'm doing a suspension overhaul and figure that it might be a good idea lining the inner fender with some kind of spray coating or somethin, and to help clean it up a bit. Anyone ever do this personally? Im reading a lot of mixed reviews online about using bedliner or rubberized coating.

      I am going to use some bedliner to cover some areas under the car that are bare metal.

        3M 08883 Rubberized Undercoating works very well. i've been rocking it for years and no issues. you must prep the surface very well before use it.

          Any chance one of you have an idle control valve for an '86 325e laying around?

          I broke the connector on mine while replacing the blower motor.

          I am hoping to swap in an I engine, so don't really want to buy a new idle control valve.

          Thanks,
          Bob

              Does anyone around here have a turbo m42 build? Kind of playing around with the idea of getting a spare m42 to do this

                Anyone want an M20? I have 200k shortblock. Could use a re-seal, but otherwise good to go. Shoot me an offer.
                Drive it hard. Maintain it well.

                    oooooo, I want a spare m20 so bad to build a stroker. Too bad I've got no place to build an engine...

                      Wheels look like this. Very slight curb rash on a couple.

                          I can take some when I get home. They're 15x7 I believe, not sure of offset. Came with my car when I bought it. They'd be pretty dirt cheap, honestly. They just take up room that I don't have.

                              Got the AC charged with 1.5 pounds of R-134.

                              It is so nice to have working AC on this hottest day of the year.

                              Last time my mechanic put 2 pounds of refrigerant in the system, a hose exploded. I replaced the hose and we'll see if it takes a full charge next week.

                              Yay! For AC.
